Description of the problem | Drove the new elantra for the first time in snow and it was hard to control. Tried not to drive it that winter and thought would buy snow tires the next winter. That summer during rainstorm the elantra handled poorly. Discovered passenger rear tire was bald. Dealer checked and alignment was within factory specs.???? Helpful hyundai mechanic agreed something was wrong and shimmied rearend for better alignment. Company paid for two tires. Now it handles great. Wonder how many accidents happened in cars with similar problem. Couldn't believe how hard it was to control on a road with slight snow coverage. Dealer saw other cars with similar problems. 2 |
